Influence of the Goal on Children's Exploration and Memory of Large-Scale Space.
Gauvain, Mary, Rogoff, Barbara
Developmental Psychology, v22 n1 p72-77 Jan 1986
Investigates the developmental differences in spatial exploration and memory, depending on the purposes for which children six- to seven- and eight- to nine-years-old explored the space. The results suggest that children's knowledge of large-scale space is tailored to the purpose of acquiring such information. (Author/BB)
